Just to think - if Gray hadn't signed, we'd be signing Whittaker to see if he'd be our first decent right back since.. Whittaker.

A soon to be 33 year old who will demand a high wage, not so sure myself but if Lennon thinks he can do a job for us then fair enough.

Would be happy with this. Whittaker is a cracking athlete and seems to have his head screwed on so I'm sure he's looked after himself. He may have lost half a yard of pace, but I'm sure he'd still be more than capable at this level.

I've not read the whole thread. But I got a txt this morning that Gray was being offered around the Prem team by his agent since Wednesday last week.

My take would be the offer that Hibs have made isn't what they were looking for.
Get a better offer from another club and then go back to Hibs and say better this or I sign elsewhere.
Hibs either stump up or player leaves.
If no better offer then he signs for Hibs again.
Hibs have seemingly made a lot of offers to players who are out of contract, my hope is they have put a time limit on these as the uncertainty could lead to delays in going for targets.

David Gray has done Hibs a great turn so far and I hope he stays but can't see how he is a better player than Steven Whittaker.

Family wanted back to Scotland and I don't think he will go back south.
If he doesn't go back to England them I'm not sure many Scottish teams will better the terms offered.
Time will tell.

If we were signing a RB who has plenty recent Premier League and Championship experience down south that hadn't played for Hibs then I doubt anyone would be as unenthusiastic, simply because he played for us before and he played for Rangers.
Darren McGregor, our player of the season this year is 32 in August, should we offload him aswell? Need to stop living in the past.

For example what is the better deal, one year at £1500 a week or a two year deal at £1200 a week?

Personally, although Steven has done really well for himself and is a model pro, I always thought he was defensively suspect - but that's just my opinion.
Others who know this game much better than me clearly see something more than I do, so respect to him.

This must be either all but done or a warning to sdg otherwise I can't see the sun running with it.

Would Gray not sign for the same terms? He's as big a club legend as we've got and I pray the club haven't oferered the man some embarrassing deal on less than what he currently earns.
Scottish Cup winning skipper, scorer of the the winning goal and and club legend. Stop fannying about and get him signed up.''It's always been just part of the culture.

Would hope there's room in the squad for both.
I'd like to see us going 3 at the back next season and having a choice of Mcgregor, Hanlon, Ambrose, SDG and potentially Mclean or a youngster as 5th choice.
Whittaker could play right wing back in that scenario.
Either way i'll trust Lennon to make the right decisions for the squad, but would be gutted if SDG leaves. Would rather a decision was made between now and Saturday though so he could get the send off he deserves

I think Ryan Porteous will step up to first team squad as opposed to Brian McLean

Genuinely don't think the sun would leak this if it wasn't 99% done.

Whittaker can play RB, LB, RM, LM, RWB & LWB.
Signing him does not mean the end of Gray nor Stevenson. Although Whittaker is better than both. Very good pro, great role model and very versatile. Be stupid not to try and sign him.
Has always spoken fondly of Hibs, family still lives in Midlothian and im sure he would love to come back if the finances are in order.

Man Utd are mega rich so spending money on wages on a player who breaks is no big deal, they will just replace him.
Hibs are relatively poor so need to make every penny work for them.
